356 Korean BBQ & BAR

Newly Opened AYCE Korean BBQ in Brea – Premium Cuts & Great Vibe! Just tried this new all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spot near Brea Mall – the meat quality here is seriously impressive! First off, the meat is sliced to order, so you know it's fresh. The variety is huge – besides the usual cuts, they have options like matcha pork belly, curry pork belly, beef tongue, and shank… so many choices it was hard to pick! We went with the $61 Omakase special menu to try a bit of everything. The portions are generous, so I’d suggest starting with a small selection first. We sampled all the premium cuts (#1–9), and the starting set alone was stunning – the marbling on the beef was beautiful. My friend joked that back home, just a few slices like this would cost a fortune. My favorite was the beef sh

Three fifty six bbq already has several locations and this new spot is a welcome addition to the OC. Our servers Jojo and Meiqi were amazing. Ambiance was clean and immaculate. We went with their top tier Omakase menu for $61 and it’s a value for what you get. For example they start you with Wagyu short rib, beef short rib, and the American Wagyu cube short rib. The marbling is exquisite and it just melts in your mouth. Japchae, tofu, and steamed egg before diving into the beef short rib. The kimchi fried rice is so good and you get a great workout when you mix it up. Next up the sliced short rib and the ribeye made for a great palate cleanser. Then they hit us with the Wagyu sushi perfectly torched table side. Moving forward with the green tea pork belly, LA galbi, and the fresh bulgogi.

356 Korean BBQ & Bar is such a vibe. The interior is modern, sleek, and super cool, definitely not your typical KBBQ spot. The lighting, layout, and overall design make it feel elevated but still comfortable enough to hang out and enjoy your meal. What really stands out is the variety of food. From high-quality cuts of meat to all the different sides and options, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re going classic with brisket and short rib or trying some of their other specialties, everything feels thoughtfully curated and fresh. Great atmosphere, great selection, and just an overall fun place to dine. Definitely coming back.

I heard they have their first location in San Diego, and I was really excited to visit now that they’ve finally opened in Brea. The interior was so unique that it didn’t feel like an AYCE at all. It didn’t feel like a typical KBBQ restaurant the design was really stylish, and even the chairs were uniquely designed. The meat is freshly sliced right in front of you, butcher-style, as soon as you order. Being able to see it in person made it easy to trust and enjoy. They also change the grill quickly while cooking, and every piece of meat was juicy and delicious. The service was fast and excellent as well. Additionally, their water is alkaline, which is supposed to be good for your body, and it’s filtered through a four-stage process. I really appreciated the attention to these small details.

Overall pretty good. It didn't really wow me or anything but I also have zero complaints. The meats are pretty fresh, I got the lunch basic menu which had a little bit of variety but not much. The grills are slanted which is a little different also the grills are really small. There was not much room even for just two people. The servers are really nice, but they were doing construction or something while they were open. There just isn't any highlights on any part of this concept which makes me doubt I'll come back.
